3-star hotels in Ruiru
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Ruiru, the Kiambu County town on the Thika Superhighway about 20 km northeast of Nairobi. It is for anyone who wants a bed for the night on that road, with the town's addresses compared side by side.
Staying in Ruiru
Ruiru is a town in Kiambu County, Kenya, sitting on the Thika Superhighway northeast of Nairobi. People stay here because it is a place to sleep on the road between the capital and the towns further northeast, and it is about 20 km northeast of Nairobi in a straight line.
The 3-star places on this list are spread across the town's own streets rather than one single quarter. Several sit along the Eastern Bypass and around the Ruiru Toll Station, others on 2nd Sunrise Avenue, 2nd Sunrise Ave and 3rd Sunrise Rd, and further out along Ruiru Kamiti Road and Ruiru Kihunguro off the Thika Superhighway. With 15 places to compare, the list works for a short break on the road, for couples and small groups wanting a studio or apartment, and for anyone who needs to be near the toll station or the bypass.
